The Huguenot Wine Bar

A neighborhood wine bar in San Marco for good pours, thoughtfully paired snacks, and long conversations.

The Origin of Our Name

Wine was
made here first.

In 1564, the French Huguenots settled Fort Caroline on the banks of the River of May (now the St. Johns River) and are credited with being the first Europeans to make wine in the New World.

We’re pouring wine on the same river nearly 500 years later. Not to recreate history, but to continue it in our own way.

Before Napa or Willamette Valley, there was Jacksonville.
A 1591 engraving of Timucua people gathered around the stone column raised by French Huguenot colonists near the River May, now the St. Johns. The column, carved with the French royal fleur-de-lis and garlanded with foliage, is ringed with baskets of maize, fruit and game left as offerings; a Timucua leader gestures toward it while two Frenchmen in doublets look on.
A hand raising a glass of red wine across a candlelit table, with bottles and other glasses blurred behind it.
Two people sharing a spread across a marble table: a wooden board of crackers, brie, blue cheese, dried apricots and figs, salami, grapes and batons of hard cheese, with a bowl of marcona almonds, a tray of kettle chips and a tin of preserved fish alongside. One hand lifts a spritz garnished with dried orange; another spoons caviar from a cut-crystal jar with a mother-of-pearl spoon.
